Why does Netflix keep cancelling its best shows?

The issue, in the case of Netflix, is that binge-watching a series over its premiere weekend feels practically required, lest unfavourable reviews cancel a show you would otherwise enjoy. If it released episodes on a weekly basis like other streaming platforms, it would give the audience more time to watch each episode and decide whether they want to continue watching the whole series.

'The Crown' finale: Blurring the lines between fact and fiction too much

The season was released in two instalments: four episodes centring on Diana’s last moments were released on November 16, and the next six episodes about the events following her death were released on December 13.

The Killer: A formulaic and slow-paced thriller

The movie incorporates surprising comedic moments and intensely suspenseful scenes to counterbalance its slow pace. In contrast to the film’s heavier themes, "The Killer" injects dry humour and a fondness for pop culture, providing a welcome element of levity that keeps the audience engaged.

‘Loki’ season 2: The God of Mischief proves to be a true saviour

The second season premiere of "Loki" was released on October 5, picking up right where the last season ended, with Loki’s stubborn variant Sylvie outsmarting him.

‘The Morning Show’ Season 3: Hodgepodge of media politics and superficial connections

Apple’s debut series, “The Morning Show”, began with aspirations of widespread success, by reflecting the cultural revolution. Real-life reflections have long been a hallmark of this show as Season 1 focused on the #MeToo movement, and Season 2 shed light on the beginning of the pandemic. It has also consistently kept a close eye on current affairs, but its efficacy in addressing those problems has been uneven. Season 3 is a two-year shift from where the last season ended, with data breaches, the Russia-Ukraine war, and internal politics being the overarching themes.

‘Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour’ as an enthralling second-hand serenade

“Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” concert film is a kaleidoscopic montage showcasing Swift’s evolution as a singer-songwriter. The film invited us into the sweeping, mesmerising time machine that travels each impassioned chapter from Swift’s artistic discography, all while maintaining sonic cohesiveness. It was shot throughout the three nights she performed at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

Wes Anderson’s contemplative renditions of four Roald Dahl stories

The eclectic director, Wes Anderson returned to narrate four more of Roald Dahl’s stories with Netflix, since his critically acclaimed movie “Fantastic Mr. Fox” (2009). He uses his distinctively eccentric directorial approach to fuse fun with deep introspection.

Turning the tables on social conventions

This year “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” did not become ‘just another glamorous Karan Johar film’. It turns the tide on hard-hitting themes of patriarchy, alpha male stereotypes and traditional norms by embodying ways in which two South Asian families better themselves in necessary ways.
